Description

Alfalfa, a leguminous plant, is not only a valuable forage crop but also an excellent cover crop for your garden. Let's explore the benefits of incorporating alfalfa into your garden rotation.

Improves Soil Health

Alfalfa has a deep root system that can reach up to 20 feet into the soil, helping to break up compacted soil and improve drainage. This deep rooting also allows alfalfa to access nutrients and minerals that are out of reach for other plants, making them available for the next crop in the rotation.

Nitrogen Fixation

One of the key benefits of alfalfa is its ability to fix nitrogen from the atmosphere into the soil. This process not only reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers but also enriches the soil with this essential nutrient, promoting healthy plant growth.

Weed Suppression

Alfalfa's dense growth habit and rapid canopy formation help to suppress weed growth in the garden. By shading out competing weeds, alfalfa can reduce the need for manual weeding and herbicide applications, creating a more sustainable and low-maintenance garden environment.

Enhances Biodiversity

As a leguminous plant, alfalfa attracts beneficial insects such as bees and other pollinators to the garden. These insects play a crucial role in pollinating crops and maintaining a healthy ecosystem. Additionally, the deep roots of alfalfa create channels for beneficial soil organisms, improving overall soil biodiversity.

Soil Erosion Control

The extensive root system of alfalfa helps to anchor the soil, reducing erosion caused by wind and water. By protecting the soil from erosion, alfalfa helps to maintain soil structure and fertility, preserving the health of your garden for future seasons.

In conclusion, incorporating alfalfa as a cover crop in your garden rotation can provide a wide range of benefits, from improving soil health and fertility to enhancing biodiversity and controlling weeds. Consider adding alfalfa to your garden plan to reap these rewards and create a more sustainable and resilient growing environment.

OUR PLEDGE TO YOU

Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations.

For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative. We pledge to you that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants.Β  The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats.

We wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately healthy people and communities.

We do not buy - OR - grow any seed from large corporations that make Genetically Engineered seeds. Β We don't touch that stuff and we never will.

The seeds we offer aren't like varieties you'd typically find at a garden center.Β 

Every variety we offer is 100%Β OP (open-pollinated).Β  Open-pollinationΒ means that you can safely save the seed after harvest and preserveΒ a collection of heirloom seed for many generations to come.

To make it perfectly clear ...Β Our seeds do not contain any exogenously inserted embryogenesis deactivator genes caused by human intervention.
